While walking on the bike trail last Tuesday Luca picked up 3 little uninvited guests...TICS...YUCK! Rich took him walking in the grass next to the trail, so he could smell all the different scents and there he picked up tics. Luckily Luca is white and we spotted the tics before they had the chance to burrow into his skin. Rich saw the first one on the leash and that alerted us to check him thoroughly. We were still on the trail, so we checked him good and found two more. Then when we got home Rich got a fine toothed comb and checked Luca again. Fortunately he didn't find anymore.
This is the first time we have ever seen tics while walking on the trail. We will definitely be more careful and aware in the future. We are also happy that we use Frontline (flea and tic killer) on Luca each month and will keep using it, so he is protected.

Maybe I should have been using Frontline and then I wouldn't have come down with Lyme disease while pregnant. Just kidding! I'm glad you guys caught it before it was a problem.
